#1 Close ties between two of the worldâs leading Shiite-majority countries would make for a formidable alliance. Given their oil and gas reserves, as well as their land mass and literate populations, they would dominate the region and pose a major threat to American and Israeli interests.

Limiting any extension of Iranian power into fledgling Iraq is just one more excellent reason to incur immediate regime change in Tehran. Any infection of Iraq by Iranian theocracy will represent an enormous setback for freedom in the Middle East.

#2 Immediate rÃ©gime change in Tehran, Damascus and uprooting any control Hizballah has in Lebanon is the only meaningful method to greatly curb, then beat the Shi'ite branch of the world-wide jihadic terrorism movement. The other well funded branch of greater Islam's death cult mentality is of course Saudi-Wahhabism which can be initial addressed in more forceful economic terms, BUT unless there is a determined corporate will to topple the Wahhabi oil barons, and retool the Arabian oil infrastructure, then.... forget about it, in terms of realistically defeating this cancer.

If bottom line oil profits are going to continue standing in the way of dealing the knock out punch to the primary mega-bankrollers of both Shi'ite & Wahhabi terrorism, then our boys & others are being placed in arms way to be targets for psychopathic Muslim madmen! There is no middle ground with the likes of those which take school children hostage knowing they will butcher them.
